Hangzhou APG) starting Saturday in Tehran, at a glance we review the EB structure.
The Asian Paralympic Committee is composed of a General Assembly, Executive Board, Management Team and
various Committees.
The
General Assembly is the supreme governing body of the APC. It meets once every
two years and is composed of 45 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) located
in the Asian region, organised in five sub-regional organisations
(sub-regions); East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and South East
Asia.
The Executive Board of Asian Paralympic Committee is currently composed 16 members, of which six are elected through the APC General Assembly (President, two Vice-Presidents, Chair of Women in Sport Committee and two members at large).
The EB, collectively, is
the representative of the APC General Assembly and responsible for setting the
policies and for ensuring that the directions set by the membership at the
General Assembly are implemented. It meets at least three times a year and
meetings are chaired by the President.
